I AM EXTREMELY sorry for not updating any of my stories in such a long time! To make up for it, I added alt of percabeth fluff in this chapter.
I have been quite busy; my school work seems to be dragging me away from fanfiction over all, so I can't ask for you to expect too many updates in the future. Now I hope you dear readers enjoy the next lovely chapter of the narrative I have written for all of you. I'm sure you'll all enjoy it quite well.
Nico: Why are you talking like that?
Lyssa: Uh, Because I WANT to?
Nico: Ok then, I'm just going to go cut…the lawn. Yea. I'm not cutting myself, what're you talking about? *Glances nervously back and forth and backs up into the shadows.*
Lyssa: Ok…
Disclaimer: I in no way, shape, or form own The Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, nor do I own any of the characters in it.
I do own, Angel and Carly and her kids though….you know what, I'm pretty sure you can tell who I own and who I don't!
Just read the dang story!
As the boys were talking strategy in our group huddle, I looked behind my shoulders at the girls. Angel saw me and sent me a sweet smile before sticking her tongue out and giggling. I sighed and turned back to the boys.
"It's 4 against 3, I like our odds," Braden said
"Plus, Molly can't play for her life and Angel's four," Caden said
"But, Annabeth's very determined. She's not going down without a fair fight." I said and Sean nodded before going over a few moves they should try. 5 minutes later, we were facing the girls and ready to play.
"OK, rules first," Annabeth declared, "absolutely NO pushing, pulling or harming others to get to the ball. This will result in you being removed from the game. Got it boys?" She said looking straight at the boys. They nodded.
"Second, we want one of you 4 to sit out and every 5 minutes you can rotate players as you wish. Finally, Play fair and play hard. Good luck to you, you're going to need it," She said and turned around walking towards the goal with excellent poise. I felt my mouth drop a few inches but closed it quickly. I sent a pointed look to Braden and he sighed and ran off the field. Sean got in the goal and me and Caden were right by him.
Annabeth threw in the soccer ball in and we started playing. I was shocked when the girls scored a goal almost immediately. What shocked me more was that Angel was the one who scored it.
"You're a tough little girl aren't you? I said to her and she stuck her tongue out at me. I rolled my eyes and laughed.
We played and played until the sun started setting at it began to get really late. By then the score was 10 boys- 8 girls.
"It's pretty obvious we've won, why don't we all just go inside and relax before my parents come and it gets too dark to see," Sean said and Molly crossed her arms over her chest.
"It's not over until the fat lady sings!" She screamed.
"Are you inferring for Percy to sing, 'cause trust me you really don't want that to happen," Annabeth said with all seriousness in her voice.
"Oh, hardy-har-har," I laughed blankly "I saw we have about 5 minutes before it's too dark to see, so lets just play for a minute or two alright?"
Molly cheered and Sean sulked, I walked over and patted him on the back, "How much damage could they do to the score in 5 minutes?"
He shrugged and gave me a look like I hope you know what you're talking about. I shrugged and got into the goal.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxxXxXx
Turns out we lost.
Boys Score: 11
Girls score: 24
Wow, such men we are to lose to 3 girls.
"Good job Molly! You scored the winning goal!" Annabeth cheered for Molly holding her hand out for a high five. Molly giggled and returned the high five.
"Yea, 'cause girl's rule and boys drool!" Angel screamed skipping into the house and made an L with her hand putting it on her forehead and looking at Sean. Sean rolled his eyes, Angel stuck her tongue out.
"Alright alright, calm down," I said and set out paper plates and glasses of milk on the coffee table. Annabeth distributed two chocolate chip cookies on each plate. Each kid dove into them, except Sean who simply took one and sat on the couch eating it slowly.
Ding! I walked over and answered the door. Carly and Ryan stood waiting outside.
"Mommy! Daddy!" Angel cried running from her spot on the floor and to her parents. Her fafther picked her up and spun her around.
"Hello, baby girl," Ryan said kissing her on the cheek.
"Mom, Dad, this was like the funnest thing ever! We played a house and made cookies and we played soccer! The girls won! I even scored the winning goal mom!" Molly said walking towards her parents.
"Yea it was cool," The twins chorused shaking my hand and walking out.
"Their way better 'sitters then Shannon." Sean said and I held my breath, hoping Carly wouldn't say anything.
"Oh right, Shannon! Do you think we could have her phone back dear? I'm sure she'd love to get her hands back on it." Carly asked smiling and I sighed hoping Annabeth wouldn't get to curious.
"Sure," I replied and went to get the phone on the table. Carly thanked me and Annabeth and I gave a final farewell to the kids. Ryan gave me their home number and I gave him mine in case they might ever need a babysitter.
"Bye guys!" Annabeth smiled and waved shutting the door. She went over to the coffee table and began to clear it. "That was really fun, I'm glad I decided to stay. Those kids were so cute."
"Well, maybe n a few years you'll have a few kids of your own to play with," I said keeping my head down as I helped her clear the table. I heard her laugh, but it was dry.
"I doubt it, Jake hates kids, there a 'burden' he says." She replied.
"Well, I'm sure you'll be a great wife to him, and when Jake sees how good you are with kids, you'll have a family of your own." I was not sure why I was talking to her about this at all.
"Yea, I hope," Annabeth said and we were led into a comfortable silence.
"So, how did you get ahold of that phone Percy?" Annabeth asked as I was carrying an assortment of things in my arms. Caught off guard, I tripped and everything, including myself, dropped to the ground.
"Percy! Are you o-Ah!" Annabeth said coming to help me. She ended up tripping on some spilt milk and out of sheer luck, she landed right on top of me.
"Need some help their Kelp Brains?" She said smiling softly at me.
"I'm good Owl Head," I replied and she laughed. Suddenly her eyes were boring into mine and I couldn't help it. I wanted so badly to lean up that mere inch and close the gap…
But I didn't have to.
Annabeth had already leaned down and placed her lips on mine. It wasn't a kiss of passion and heat, it was simple and sweet. And I found myself kissing her back.
After what felt like hours later, she pulled apart with her eyes closed, I swore I saw her fighting a smile until she opened her eyes again and the realization of what we had just done hit her.
"I-I- I'm sorry," She stuttered and got off of me. I followed suit.
"No, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have," I sighed, "I shouldn't have kissed back,"
"I'm sorry Percy," Annabeth said grabbing her keys off the table and heading toward the door "I- I have to go,"
"No, Annabeth, please don't leave, I need to talk to you." I said watching her eyes fill with tears before she turned around.
"I'm sorry," She said and I had a feeling we weren't talking about the kiss anymore. She opened the door and left. I walked to the door and punched my fist against it. I turned and leaned my back to the door so I could slide to sit down. I ran my hands through my hair.
"He's cheating on you, Annabeth…" I whispered.
Hope you guys liked it! Review please!
